XONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Inactivity prevails in discount circles, where business is almost entirely suspended. The preys. lent idea that now the position of the Bank of Eng land has been further strengthened by a large daily influx of gold, and that the authorities, having due regard to their own interest, must reduce their rate to-morrow, is alone the cause of the quietude expe rienced in the Money Market. The charges are so wlde, and so greatly below the official minimum, that it is imposible to quote any figure as represent ing the average term for the negociation of com mercial bills. The failure of Messrs Darby and Co,, wholesale grocers, of Little Tcwer•street, has been announced. The debts are estimated at about £BO,OOO, and the liqaidation, it is supposed, will prove favourable. The accountants are Messrs Hart, Brothers, and Rayles, who have been engaged to prepare a state- Meat for the creditors. . _ A further sum of £54,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. There was no material alteration in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. Notice has been given that the share list of the Colonial Trading Company will close, for London and the country, on the 14th inst., and for the Con tinent on the 15th. The directors of the London Bank of Mexico and South America have made a call of £5 per share Payable in two instalments of £2 lOs each on or be fore the 29 t h inst., and 29th D ecem b er respec tively, at the L on d on and County B Ank and Alliance Bank ' A Special meeting of the shareholders has has also been convened for the purpose of obtaining sanction to increase the capital of the company.

The 91 of November from time immemorial has been a great day for the city of London, notwithstanding that it obstructs business to a very great extent. Still the Lord Mayor's show is looked upon as one of the institutions of the country, and to speak against it; is little less than treason: This morning, big with the fate of turtles, opened bright and brilliant upon the good and loyal city I civic functionaries and gaudily attired footmen were heard to exchange mutual congratulations upon being able to ex hibit all their finery with the advantage of a November sun. Long before the city had begun to wear its wonted bustle and activity, the carpenter's hammer was sending forth its noisy note of preparations, and throughout the line of procession ricketty windows were being secured, dusty banners unfurled, and stout barriers erected to stop the progress of intrusive vehicles. The Mansion House was of course the scene of much commotion, and during the whole of the morning policemen, city marshals, and lively flunkeys, with hugo bunches of flowers and unexceptionable limbs, were flitting to and fro in a dreadful state of excitement, whilst at the various ward halls, beadles, whose shabby-genteel coats were con cealed beneath heavy cloaks trimmed with gold lace, were furbishing up their wands of office and inspecting the various banner bearers who were to take part in the all important pageant. At an early hour the now Lord Mayor was duly installed in his civic mansion, and his :Lordship commenced the duties and ceremonies of the day by putting his cook's abilities to the test and entertaining his friends and officers of the household at a sumptuous breakfast. The well-known venerable coach, drawn by six high spirited steede, and caparisoned in massive crimson trap pings, was then ordered to the door, and his Lordship stOred in his robes of office, decorated with the gold chain, and attended by his Chaplain, the Recorder, the Sword and Mace Bearer, entered the antiquated vehicle and drove off to Guildhall, followed by the Sheriffs. Here fur the first time was Alderman Hale welcomed and cheered as Lord Mayor of London, and having partaken of luncheon—eating and drinking forming the principal and certainly tho most agreeable feature in the cere mony—his Lordship announced it to be his will and pleasure that the procession should be arranged in the order in which it was to move. Accordingly the City Marshal set to work, and with the aid of a body of policemen, after some difficulty, succeeded in his task. The steeds of the ancient knights in brass and steel gave to the civil guar.- diens of the peace some trouble; but having somewhat awkwardly, it must be admitted, vaulted into their saddles, and couched their lances, all was declared to be in readi ness, and the procession then moved from Guildhall yard in the following order : Drums and Fifes of the Royal London Militia Boys of the Marine Society, with Banners Three Trumpeters Band of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire Watermen, bearing the Banners of the following Livery Companies of the City of London : Spectacle-makers Loriners Plasterers Coopers Innholdsrs Painter Stainers Carpenters Saddlers Girdlers Wax Chandlers Salters Goldsmiths Fishmongers Grocers Band of the 2d London Rifle Volunteer Brigade Banner of the Arms of the Company of Tallow Chandlers Banner of the Arms of the late Mr Alderman t a co Humphery Banner of the Arms of th, ,e late Mr Alderman Farncomb C) 0 Banner of the Arms of th e Ri g ht H on . th e L or d Mayor r 11 .

To the late Lord Mayor his lordship begged to offer his congratulations. After hav ing served his term of office he was about to retire into comparative privacy, but during the whole time he had. displayed everything that could belong to a patriotic citizen and upright magistrate. His Lordship further remarked that he felt assured that although ceasing io occupy a very important position he would still discharge more public duties that remained to him, and that ho would continue to deserve the approbation and meet with the sympathy in the discharge of those which he had hitherto experienced Aldermen LAWRENCE bowed his acknowledgments. The LORD MAYOR was then sworn. The late Lord Mayor was also sworn to render into her Majesty a full account :of the receipts on account :of the Crown during his mayoralty, and to "behave himeelf properly," according to the old style of the oath, whilst he did so. The other formalities having been gone through, the Recorder invited the judges to the banquet at the Guildhall this evening. The Lord Mayor, the late Lord Mayor, the Recorder and the other officers of the City then withdrew, and pass ing through the other courts, the Lord Mayor, through the Recorder, invited the judges presiding to the banquet. The procession then returned to the City in the same order as coming. The Ballot Society.—Dr. Cumming and the Great Millenium. At the Sheriffs' Court yesterdays in the case of Oliver v. Bontems, which has been referred to Mr Bradon, registrar of the Lord Mayor's Court, Mr Buchanan, on the part of defendant, who is the honorary secretary to the Ballot Society, applied to have the award of the abitrator made an order of court. His Honour (Mr Commissioner Kerr)—Do you apply far costs ? Mr Buchanan—Oh, no. You Honour will remember that the plaintiff ought to recover for services alleged to have been rendered to the Ballot Society, but it was proved that the deendant never gave any authority. The arbi trator found in favour of the the defendant on every gronnd, - His Honour—Do you apply for the costs of the arbi tration ? Mr Buchanan—There are not any. B is Hon• ur—That is very surprising. Mr Buchanan—The plaintiff is a poor man, and Mr Wrandon declined to charge him anything, Mr Bontems declines to ask for any costs, and I have waived my fee. His Honour—All this is very extraordinary. You must not let the public know of this or it will create quite a sen sation. (A. laugh.) Mr Buchanan—l may add something more, and that is that Mr Bontems has instructed me to give plaintiff £3 :as a present to him. His Honour—Arbitrators declining their costs and attor nies waiving their fees I If this gets to the ears of Dr Cumming he will fancy that the great millenium is at hand. (Great laughter.) Mr Buchanan—Oh I it must not be taken as a precedent. Mr Osgood tregistrar)—The best plan will be to make the order for defendant without costs. Mr Buchanan—Yes. I think that will do. The order was then made as agreed. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr Commiasioner Goulburn.) IN RE F, G. LEE, This bankrupt was described as of Fitzroy •street, Fitzroy equare, clerk in holy orders, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. The balance-sheet shows, debtor to creditors unsecured, £21,087 ; debts secured, £2,000 ; liabilities in respect of others, L 1,154 ; property given up, £6OO ; property in the hands of creditors, £7,600. Mr Evans, for the assignees, read the evidence given on a former occasion. He said that the principal creditor re sided in Scotland, and the bankrupt had property in Eng land. As to the property held by the creditors, consisting of a church, he was afraid that the bankrupt was too san guine as to its value, and it would be satisfactory if it rea lised one-half the amount. The bankrupt had built the church partly from his own funds and partly from money borrowed, and all the difficulty arose from the bishop for some reason having refused to consecrate the church. The bankrupt, in examination, now made claims for sti pend alleged to be due from the churchwardens, but he did not conceive he had any legal document by which he could recover it. There were other points on which he had doubts as to his rights. His Honour sail they better all be inserted in the ac counts, and see if anything would result to the creditors. Mr Evans did not offer any opposition, as there was no ground for imputing anything against the bankrupt than having been over-sanguine. His Honour concurred, and said the bankrupt was entitled to his discharge.

On the arrival of the Lord Mayor at Westminster Hall, bis lordship at once proceeded to the Court of Exchequer. The civio party tcok a standing position in front of the bench reserved for the Queen's counsel. The RECORDER, in addressing the court, said he had the honour to introduce to their lordships the Right Hon. Warren Stormes Hale, who had been selected by his fellow citizens of London to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year, and her:gracious Majesty ratified the choice of the citizens. The learned gentleman then proceeded to give a short history of the career of the new Lord Mayor, stating that he had for many years carried on business in the City of London, during which time he had wcn the good opinion of his fellow citizens. He had for a con siderable time been their representative in the Court of Common Council, and on the death of the alderman of his ward (Coleman•street) he was unanimously elected to fill the vacant office. He hadj served the office of sheriff, and at the termination of his year of office received a vote from the livery, and he felt assured that he would not be found wanting at the post of honour to which he had been elected, The learned gentleman having also intimated that the late Lard Mayor, who had so well fulfilled his office during the past year, was in attendance, concluded by presenting the new Lord Mayor in the usual form to take the oath. The LORD CHIEF BARON, in reply, said he had to con gratulate th 3 Lord Mayor on having attained that honour which the learned Recorder had expatiated on in his address to the Court. He appeared there as the First Magistrate of the greatest city in the empire, to claim cer tain rights which belonged to the peat city of which he was the chief authority. He (the Lord Chief Baron) did not look upon the present as an idle ceremony, as it was in reality a proceeding to claim and to retain those privileges which had existed from time immemorial, He rejoiced to hear the account the learned Recorder had IN RE SMITH. This bankrupt was a baker at Hackney, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge, Mr W. R. Buchanan did not oppose for the assignees, but Mr Brough, for several creditors, asked for a goods, cash, and deficiency account, as the debts amounted to £272 to unsecured creditors, and the whole of his property had been made over to other creditors, but for valuable consideration. An adjournment was accordingly ordered. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This day. MARLBOROUGU.STREET. DISCHARGING FIREWORKS IN THE STREETS.— Edward Buckingham, a young man, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with discharging fireworks in the street. Police-constable, 82 E, proved seeiag the defendant last night discharging a sq u ib i n Warren-s t r eet, Fitzroy-square. As soon as the defe n d ant saw h i m approaching he ran away. 111 r Tyrwhitt said discharging fireworks was a mos dangerous practice, and the defendant was old enough to know better. The defendant was fined ss. E ST MINSTER. UNPROVOKED ATTACK UP ON STRINGERS.—CharIes East, a powerful fellow, was brought before Mr Arnold charged with three most unprovoked assaults upon different persons. - «illiam Aldridge, a respectable-looking young man, said that ho and a friend went last night into the Prince of Wales' Tavern, Exeter. street ' Ch e l s ea, to get some refresh ment. Defendant, another man and a woman, were also in the house, and one of theta d ro pped a key on the floor. Complainant seeing th e k ey on the ground, and thinking that he might have dropp e d i t, felt i n hi s p o cket, and finding his own safe, remarked a l oud that it was s i ng ul a r the two keys were so much alike, lie had no sooner done so than defendant or the other man seized him, and held a hand over his eyes, and when he endeavoured to remove this he was struck by the defendant violently and followed with great fury, when he endeavoured to escape. But for the ill treated. i n t er ference of others, he would have been most seriously James Collins, an artisan perfect ly unconnected with either party, said he was merely passing at the time, and without any provocation was attacked and struck twice by the defendant. _ William Goodyer said he was with Aldridge, and con firmed his statement as to the beginning of the attack. There was nothing whatever done to provoke the defendant, and when he attacked Aldridge witness merely endeavoured to p ro tect him from his fury Defendant struck witness t w i c e violently. Mr Arneld — Had n othin g whatever occurred except what before defendant attacked and so so was my friend. D e fendant said he had been drinking so f ree ly that he you. as very much surprised s v i du e gd s ed ti e n t N e n d eo stashbi of fug the hw e t h h as e tt et av k ce e kr youa A thelhave ar could not remember what had occurred, He was very sorry that anytLing had happened. Mr Arnold—You are charged with committing three perfectly unprovoked assaults upon strangers. It was not to be permitted that persons wero to be knocked about with impunity in this way, and I shall commit you for 6 weeks to hard labour. THAMES, SAVAGE AssAlms—George Gilbert, a s t range looking man, about 40 years of age, with a large black beard and moustache, was brought before Mr Paget charged wick assaulting James Robert Duffield. The complainant, whose mouth was cut and swollen, and who could with diffieulty articulate, said h e was doo rke ep er to Mr Sands, who kept a p hotogra p hic shop on Tower-hill. Last night a boy interfered with him and made a noise. The boy also made an attem p t to break u p •some photo tgoroakp h ikc stick m him, ran after the boy, who fell. He brdro it up and threw the pieces over the railings into the ,Tower-moat. He had no sooner done so than the prisoner stepped up . and struck him a violent blow on his mouth which aimed him to stagger, and he bled profusely. A bystander said it was a shame, and the prisoner immediately repeated the blow and knocked him down. The people interfered and gave the prisoner into custody. In answer to questions by the magistrate, the com plainant said be did not ill use the boy, lle only threatened him and broke his stick. Mr Paget—By ill-using the complainant. You were here on Monday for being drunk and incapable and I die ' charged you. It is a pity I did co. If I had punished you then you would not have been here now, The prisoner said he had a wife and four children, and was five miles away from home. Mr Paget—That is no reason you should assault a man on Tower-hill. Tho prisoner said ho recollected a boy-raoh on Tower-hill, but did not recollect striking any one. Ho lost all his money on Saturday night. Mr Paget said the prisoner was a drunken, violent, and disorderly man, who saw a disturbance last night, and, without provocation, struck a man in a brutal manner and injured his lips. He sentenced the prisoner to be impri• Boned li days and kept to hard labour. The Convict Muller. Up to last evening Franz Muller, now 7' dor sentence of death in Newgate, had shown no inclination to confess th crime of which he has been convicted.: . Knowing, as then is reason to believe ho does, thou :la the fact has been care fully concealed from him by the prison authorities, tha efforts are being made by the German Society to procure a commutation of the sentence, his reserve occasions no surprise. Tho impress'on among the authorities is that, if he confers at all, it will not be until the very last. Yes• terday, again, Mr Sheriff Bexley raid him a visit, as did also the Rev. Mr Walbaum, the minister of the Gelman Chapel, in St. James's, who h-s spent some time with him daily eine° his conviction. The convict also attended the service in the chapel. He has always shown a diepesition to profit by the religious consolation which has been oCered him since he received senterc:, but in other respects he has been reserved, cold, end unimpressionalale, without in the least, however, being disrespectful to those about him. As early as 7 o'clock yesterday morning the members of the German Legal Protection Society are said to have had a meeting at Seyd's Hotel, Finsbury-square, for the purpose of settling the draught of the memorial they mean to pre sent to the home Secretary. Before separating the memorial was unanimously adopted, and they resolved to forward it to Sir George Grey on Wednesday morning. In the meantime a Special Committee of the Society ate publishing an elaborate report, describing minutely the whole of the steps they have taken from first to last to clear up what they regard as the mystery attending the murder, and particularly to ascertain the movements of the prisoner about the time of its commission, and how he came into possession of the watch and chain of Mr Briggs. It is, in fact, the whole story of the defence told over again, and embodying besides statements which were not legally ad missible in evidence on the trial, but which they regard as throwing additional light upon the matter, red justifying the course they took in defending him. Adverting to the alibi, they say— " The distance irom Stanley Cottage was measured, and it was ascertained that, taking into consideration all circum otances—as for instance, the lameness of Muller—it would take 20 to 25 minutes to walk from the house to Camberwell gate. The journey by omnibus to King 'William-street, after riding at different times and in different omni buses, was found to take 20 to 30 minutes. Therefore, supposing the statements of the Joneses and of Muller in New York to be true, Muller, after having left Stanley Cottage at half-past 9 o'clock, could not have been in King William-street before 10 minutes or a quarter past 10. con sequently could not possibly have been the perpetrator or abettor of the murder in the railway carriage at 10 minutes to 10 o'clock." They relate the following as the account given by Muller himself to a member of their body and to Mr Beard, their solicitor, at the Bow-street yolice-station on the same evening he arrived in London from New York : " Atter the exchange of some kind words and a solemn exhortation to adhere strictly to the truth, Muller declared that on Saturday evening the Bth of July he had left his friend Haffa at Mr Repech's house, where he had had tea, and had taken an omnibus at the coiner of Fenchurch• street and Gracechurch-street for Camberwell. He had been lame at the time in consequence of his haN:ng been run over on the Thursday, and therefore wore a red ca-pet slip per on his right foot. Near the gate he had left the omnibus to walk to a house in George-street, Camberwell, New-road, He declined to give the address of the house. On coming back he had had a glass of ale at a pu)lie house on the left side, before coining to the gate, from the Elephant and Castle, and had entered into conversation with the bar keeper. The house was about 200 yards from the toll-gate, and could be recognised by its standing for ward and being boundcl by two streets. There always were shaoblack boys in front of it. The bar-keeper was a young man of average size, with dark hair, whis kers, aril a beard on his chin. By this description it must be easy to recognise him. After half-past 10, to his belief, he had left Camberwell , gate in an orange omnibus, had ridden to the Monument in King Wi lliam•strEet, and walked from there to the Bank, in order to take his omni bus from Threadneele-street to Hackney. As it alrerdy had left, he had walkel home to Old Ford-road, and reached it about half-pelt 11, His lendlady and the other lodgers had already gone to bed. On his way home ho did not meet with any friend or a , irraintance, nor did he call anywhere. The omnibus from Camberwell to King William- at., con tained besides him four persons—an old gentleman with dark hair and dark whiskers, two young ladies, and a little girl. The conductor was of average height, wore a hat rid along coat which had no buttons at the Lack. His face was small. dark, and pock-marked ; he wore a white and black chequered neckerchief. When he entered the omnibus, a brown dog, which was flying at a boy in the street opposite the publichouse, caused a crowd." On the all-important subject of the hat, proved at the trial to have been that of Mr Bliggs, the committee says : " The hat which had been found in his possession at New York he had bought, between May 14 end 20, at the shop of Mr Digance, for 14s 6d. He remembered the occasion very well, because at the same time, as he used to do at Whitsun tide, he had bought a new suit. The two Repsches must remember this, as they had seen him in his new suit. He left the hat Mathews had bought for him at the shop. The lining of this hat was dark and had blue stripes." In connection with this story, it should be borne in mind that Mr Digance's shopman, of whom the prisoner must have bought the hat, if he bought it there at all, seeing that Mr Digance never sold him a hat, and that he has only one shopman, a person who has been with him for the last 12 years, has been confronted with the prisoner in his cell since his conviction, in the presence of Mr Beard, and that on the ono hand Muller failed to recognise him, and on the other the shopman said he had no recollection of having seen him before. The committee proceed to say : •' With regard to the watch and chain, Muller declared he had left the house of Mr Repach at about ten minutes to 8, had gone to Mr Hodgkinson to see Haffa, had not found him (vide the statements of Haile and Mr Hodgkinson's foreman), and had then immediately gone towards the Lon eon Ducks in order to enquire about the time of sailing, and if possible to take his ticket at the same time. He arrived at the docks at half- past 8. He found a German porter in the office near the ship Victoria, bnt as he could not get his ticket he was about to leave the docks again. About 100 yards from the office, in the passage to the warehouses, a pedlar offered him a watch and chain for sale. He held these things in his hand, and took some rings and chains and another watch from his coat pocket. The pedlar was of middle height, had a small face with prominent cheek. bones, brown whiskers, and close-shaved skin; ho had a small cut or scar on his lip, and wore a Melton morning coat. When the things were offered to him for £6 he had only £4 and three hall-crowns in his pocket. The seller of the things refused to acept £4, and Muller went on, but came back on the second thought that the watch and chain must be worth more, because the £4 were refused by the pedler, and might make a good bargain, end offered three halt-crowns-7s 6d—more, The pedlar took the offer. While on his way home, and calculating how by the sale or pawning of the things bought he might make a profit so as to be able to redeem his own watch and chain, which ho had pawned some weal ago its Whitechapel, and of the value of which —D— he was fully aware, ho was disturbed by the thought that the things bought might be not real gold or valueless. He at once determined to ga to Mr Death's in Cheapsida, and by changing the chain as certain its value and that of the watch." The words in italics are so put bp the committee. " After Muller had spent his money in purchasing the watch and chain, he resolved to pawn the chain ho had es changed. He got £1 lOs in the Minories, and sold the ticket to his friend Hoffa for 12s. Thus ho became possessed of £2 2s. From a mark ho thought the watch he bought at the docks a valueble one, and determined to keep it. With the IL he redeemed his own watch which he had pawned at the Minories, and asked his friend for the loan of £l, in order to redeem the chain also, and then on Wednesday morning pawn both together at the Wes-end for a higher price. He received £4 in Princes-street, and sold the ticket, as proved, to Glass for £1 6s. The one pound lent waf deducted. Besidee, he received from Mr Repsch, who owed him £1 2s, 14s; from Mr Mathews, 38 Gd; for a coat ho pawned, Os. With the money thus acquired he bought on Wednesday his passage-ticket for £4, a mattress for 7s 6d, and pail is porterage. The 12s found upon him at New York he got by the sale of a coat and a pair of trousers. When asked why, at his arrest at New York, he had told a lie about the watch, he declared that nothing but the sur prise and fright of the moment had induced him to do so. With regard to the hat, he said Inspector Clarke must be mistaken, rs the minutes of his examination at New York could easily prove; only with regard to the watch he had told an untruth." 1 hese are the more material parts of a document extend ing over three columns of on ordinary newspaper, and which is described as " Part first," the rest being to follow. BREAKFAST BEVERAGE.—Homcoopathic practitioners, and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doc trine of homceopathy was first introduced into this country, there were to bo obt lined no preparations of cocoa either at tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied in the crude state or so unskilfully manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epus, of London, Homoeopathic Chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn his atention to this subject, and at length he succeeded, with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined by the perfect trituration it receives in the process it passes throligh, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach. For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli cious aroma. Dr. Hassall, in his work "Adulteration of Food," says —" ocoa con taus a great variety of important nutritive principles every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." Again: "As a nutri tive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee or tea." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured in tin-lined alb., ;lb., and 11b. labelled packets, a d sold by grocers, couictioncra, and chvallAs. - [ADVT.] SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETINGS-TT,TESDAY, Seven events, five of which, we are sorry to say, were over the T.Y.C., are quite enough at this time of year, and the Hurdle Race commenced the proceedings at 12,30. I was rather a hollow victory for Puss, the favourite, Morocco and Stanton being soon out of it, Provisor landed the rather heavy odds on him in the Handicap Plate easily, as did Bessy in the Lancashira Stakes ; but the latter, not having carried extra weight, was disqualified, and the stakes awarded to Hartleap. The Knowsley Nursery always furnishes a large field, and 23 on this occasion faced the starter, who despatched them with less than the usual delay. Tho favourite, Lion —a fine Windhound colt, who ran the Duke very closely at York—had the best of it from the first ; though the Imogene filly managed to get within a head of him at the post - , and would probably have passed him in another stride or two. The Flying Handicap is the other feature of the first day, and resulted this year in the deftat of a very warm f,_ vourite, Coup d'Etat, who had a little the worst of th , start, being soon out of it; and an outsider, Pupil, w on rather cleverly, The attendance was but moderate.

Betting-3 to 1 agst Morocco, 4to 1 each agst West End and Stanton, and 6 to 1 agst Pass. Morocco got away with a slight lead, followed by True Heart, Puss, Wild Duck, and Bowman to the canal bridge turn, where the former dropped back, leaving True Heart in possession of the lead, which he retained to halfway in the distance, where he was headed by Puss, who cleared the last flight of hurdles in advance, and won very easily by five lengths. West End, who headed True Heart oppo site the Stand, obtained the second honours by a length Garibaldi was a bad fourth ; Bowman, Morocco, and Wild Duck trotted in, but did not pass the post.

Betsy waited upon Hartleap to the centre of the Stand, when Grimshaw brought up Betsy, who won a good race by a length. On returning to the scale Mr Lincoln lodged an oljection against the winner for not carry ing her correct weight, which was subsequently inves tigated by the stewards, who awarded the stakers to the objectors. The winner was sold to Mr M. Clark for 31 guineas, The Knowsley Nursery Stakes (Handicap), of 5 soya each, with 100 soys added, for 2-yr-olds. Winners extra. Hell' a mile. 64 subs. Mr E.

A few failures preceded an excellent start, in which the favourite, with Purity and Viola next the rails, got away slightly in advance, having Edinburgh, Cedric, and the Imogene filly on their right, the others, who were headed by Lozenge, Anonyma, and Teesdale lying in a body at their heels. They ran thus to the distance, where Purity aad Viola attempted to get up on the inside, but were die. appointed by Lion hanging slightly to the left, and he was immediately after joined by the Imogene filly, Cedric and Lozenge wide on the right, the four finishing a fine race home, the favourite holding his own to the end, and win ning cleverly by a length, Mr Righy's fitly defeating Ced ric by a head, who was a like distance in advance of Lo z2nge. Edinburgh was fifth, close up, Viola sixth, and Purity next. Then came close together Lily Lye, Rose of Denmark, Arkansas, and Teesdale. The last lot were Whip, Nu, Belgrave, and Reparation.

CATS FOR CENTRAL AMERICA. —About a dczen years since the newspapers chronicled as a fact (provocative of especial wonder) the entsrprise of a New York merchant who had exported a ergo of 100 cats to New Grenada, where, it would appear, the race had become extinct, owing probably to the uninterruptedly disturbed state of that wrot. bed republic. Iu 1850 the rats were so plentiful and so del ructive, and cats were so very so very scarce in Cali forni.., that 25 dollars were the ardinary price paid for one'.

SUPPOSED MURDER AT BOULOGNE.—BOULOGNE SUR-MER, Nov. 7.—About 7 o'clock this morning, as a workman employed in the erection of a new bridg across the river Lianne, for the use of the Boulogne and Calais Railway, was pursuing his avocation, ho became aware of the body of a child lying in the bed of the river close to the temporary bridge. The water was at this time very low and clear, He immediately called some of his fellow workmen to his assistance, and got the booy out on the hank, whence it was transported, under the care of the police, to the deadhouse of the Hospital of St. Louis, where it was left for identification. About twelve o'clock at noon the body of another child was discovered in the pool of water in the Arriere Port, and immediately withdrawn thence, and also taken to the deadhouse at the ' hospital. On the body being placed alongside the other previously brought in it was evident that they were brothers. There were no external marks of violence visible on either of the bodies. The eldest appears to be between eight and nine years:of age, 3ft. 3in. high, fair, complexion, red hair, gray eyes, straight nose, small well-formed mouth ; does not appear to have much colour in the cheeks. He had on a black jacket, dark gray trousers, a white calico shirt, .vith a narrow lilac and pick stripe alternately, a purple and black plaid flannel shirt underneath, Magenta striped, white woollen stockings, shoes much worn, brown silk cravat, brown woollen gloves with red cuffs, and bh black patent leathern belt, with a brass buckle, bearing the Austra lian coat of arms, with the motto, "Advance Australia." The younger child appears to be between four and five years of age, is a good-looking round-featured boy, and has had rosy cheeks; he is 2ft. gin. high, light curly hair, blue eyes, straight nose, small well-formed mouth, forehead fair and well developed. He had on a white diaper pinafore, light blue and white merino petticoat with two broad brown flounce stripes, a check linen under-petticoat, a flannel ditto with two tucks, white calico trousers with pearl edging, red socks, and newly repaired shoes, lilac woollen mitten gloves. with black cuff, and a reddish brown ovcrjacket. There are no peculiar marks on the clothes. The caps or hats have not beer found as yet. The report of the finding of the children was soon bruited about, and the police were very active in making inquiries into the:probable cause of death. In a very short time it was ascertained that a man named Leduc, who has lately resided in London, and who is well known in Boulogne, having a wife residing in the Rue de Bras d'Or, arrived in the Albert Edward from Folkestone at 4,30 p.m. yesterday (Sunday), and on leaving the packet wont into the passengers' waiting-room under the Macabre do Commerce with two little boys and his baggage, consist.. ing of a good hatbox, a nearly new brown leathern portman teau corded with a rope, and a carpet-bag of a grte.n ground and dark brown stripe. The party stayed in the room warm ing themselves by the fire, and Leduc conversed freely m ith the Customhouse officers who were there. He told them that ho was ping to place the children at a school about eight leagues from B ou l ogne . H e l e ft the Customhouse with the children ab out 7 o ' c l oc k i n th e eve ning, and was no m ore seen until late in th e n i g ht, w hen he went to visit his wif e in the Rue do B ras d'O r , an d slept there all night, It i s supposed that he left for England by the Folkeston e b oa t at 2 30 p.m, to-day (Monday), or he may have gone to Calais, or indeed elsewhere. At all event, M. Brayer, the very active Commissioner of Police in Beulogne, is using every exertion to find him, and the police arc on the alert in every direction. M. Brayer has telegraphed to London, Folkestone, Dover, Calais, and other places in France, with the following description of Leduc :—He is of small stature thin face, brown hair, small reoustache,land wears a dark brown paletot, ditto trousers (ragged at the bottom) a broad"brimmed, low, dark or black Jim Crow bat. The children seemed to have belonged to the better class cf artizAllS. 1 Share! I
